  • But Tuesday will be the biggest test yet. In a pair of Florida special elections for vacant congressional seats, Democrats Josh Weil and Gay Valimont have vastly outraised their Republican opponents, Randy Fine and Jimmy Patronis, despite the districts being viewed as safe by the GOP.

The article from Politico's Weekly Score newsletter discusses five key aspects to watch during the elections in Florida and Wisconsin on Tuesday. In Florida, the focus is on the GOP presidential primary where Donald Trump is expected to win, but the level of voter turnout and support for other candidates like Nikki Haley could signal the strength of Trump's influence within the party. Additionally, there are several state and local races, including a special election for a state House seat in Florida, which could provide insights into voter sentiment on key issues like abortion rights and education. In Wisconsin, the spotlight is on the state Supreme Court election, where the outcome could shift the court's balance, affecting decisions on critical issues like redistricting, voting rights, and abortion. The article also mentions the potential impact of recent political controversies and how they might influence voter turnout and preferences. Lastly, the piece highlights the significance of these elections as bellwethers for the upcoming general election, offering clues about voter engagement and the political climate.
